Now regarded as one of the ten best films of 2024, A Real Pain has just concluded its theatrical run. Directed by Jesse Eisenberg and featuring Kieren Culkin, the film traces two temperamentally different cousins on a “heritage” trip to Poland, funded by their recently deceased grandmother. Her plan seems to be an experience that will bind the cousins to one another and honor the horror of the Sho’ah. Anyone who has made such a pilgrimage will recognize the featured sites, along with the complexity of the experience. A Real Pain has excited both controversy and admiration for its focus on third-generation responses to the Holocaust.
We’ll think aloud about where this work fits in the canon of Jewish film-making and whether it will stand the test of time. The film is just now being platformed on streaming sites, and it will be available on Amazon Prime (and other websites) for a modest fee. Please let us know if you have any difficulty locating the program.
